Pre-workout supplements will increase your energy levels, muscle power and endurance. They contain multiple ingredients that will help you achieve them. Some of the most common pre-workout ingredients are caffeine, creatine and beta-alanine. But we are not going to talk about them in this article. What we are going to discuss are the best pre-workout supplements for surfers. Here they are:

Protein & Carbs – eat whole-food meal about an hour or an hour and a half before surfing followed by a pre-workout protein shake containing of about 25 to 50 grams of protein. The amount of protein depends on your body weight. This will allow you to accumulate enough energy to fuel you before surfing, especially if you’re going to the extremes. In addition to that, take carbs in a 1:1 ration with protein. This will allow your body to release insulin which will improve nutrient delivery to muscle tissues.

Beta-Alanine – this is an amino acid that will boost your muscular strength and endurance. This is achieved by increasing the body’s carnosine levels. This will allow you to have longer surfing endurance and thus will improve your surfing levels by being able to train for extended periods.

BCAAs – a group of amino acids which contains leucine, isoleucine and valine. As soon as you take them in, they are immediately absorbed by your body and directly goes into your working muscles without needing to pass through the liver. The result? Instant energy boost.

Raspberry Ketones – a rising trend for increasing fat burning capability of the body is the raspberry ketones. This is a chemical found from red raspberries and they are known to increase metabolic rates and fat release. Take this if you want to burn down your fats down to the last bit.

Green Coffee Bean Extract – a popular fat burner that contains high levels of chlorogenic acid. It works with caffeine in releasing and burning body fat. They are unroasted coffee beans and they possess significantly higher levels of chlorogenic acids compared to roasted ones.

Tyrosine – an amino acid that improves your mood and focus – useful for surfing especially on an uneven ocean waves. This will allow you to improve your mind and body coordination, a very useful thing when surfing. It has a bonus feature that will boost your sex drive.

Choline – the backbone of the nervous system neurotransmitter, choline will improve mind and muscle coordination, resulting in better performance during surfing. In addition to that, it will improve your memory and help you maintain better phosphatidylcholine levels – an important structural building block of a living cell.
